Hi Barbara, That was me. I would run it through PDFtoMusic Pro and export a MusicXML file for you. It would almost certainly require some cleanup, especially if layers are involved, but it might be better than nothing. I will be away from my computer for a couple of days starting today, so send

The error you refer to is Finale unable to write a backup file, not your main .mus file. Are your preferences pointing to a drive or folder that no longer exists? Or it could be a preferences issue for that folder or disk, if you’re on a Mac. J D Thomas ThomaStudios > On Feb 17, 2015, at 7:1

I've looked at the header in a hex editor and it is entirely different from a finale file - closer to a web xml document. Anyone have any idea how this could happen? Happened to anyone else? Given that the actual data is not corrupt and only the header, is it recoverable in any way? Steve P. __
